I also took this course with Dr. Howarth in Winter 2010
She was a great prof for this course, with her background in biochem, she really knew what she was talking about, and her LOUD voice made it very hard to NOT pay attention. Her " baby brain" moments were also pretty funny ( she was pregnanat during the term and would blame slip ups on her baby brain
)
Unfortunately those taking this course next year will not be able to enjoy the teachings of dr. Howarth because she is away on maternity leave for her baby GIRL!
Ave ry.. born in May , just after the course ended.
Its a really great course, but despite how highly interested you are in the content.. YOU MUST STUDY.
Her tests were very fair, incorporating material that was covered most extensively in greater amounts than that which was just touched upon, with some tricks along the way.
some tips :
MEMORIZE ALL PATHWAYS
KNOW CALCULATIONS
KNOW WHAT UNITS CALCULATIONS ARE IN
MEMORIZE TYPICAL VALUES!!*** FOR BOTH TRAINED AND UNTRAINED PEOPLE!
plus side to this course.. NO textbook.. and the custom coursewear was NOT expensive, especially if you consider all the ink and paper you saved.
